    The woman seems to come too, though she still looks suspicious.

    'I can move...but I'm sorry - I don't know anything about healing I'm afraid'.

    She stares at Lena.

    'Strangers? Just happened to be passing through? Doesn't add up. Which house are you working for?'

    She pulls herself up.

    'I think that there was a medicine chest in the wagon... not sure if there's anything left in it though'.

    Thumble shook his head, patting the woman on her now healed arm. "No, no! Thumble and Slobber only here to help ... we won't attack you!"

    Looking around, he glanced at Lena for support, hoping it would lend credence to his assertion. With the young girl healed, he stood and bowed his head slightly. "You take it easy ... we need to look for more survivors."

    Thumble continued to search amongst the others, lending his help where ever he could.

    Let's go with a general Heal check to help anyone out. If someone else is better at healing, he'll try to aid - DC 15 either way, I think.

    Slobber starts licking the girl's face again. She attempts to fight him off, but he mistakes it for playfulness, and jumps up, yapping happily.

    'Help - call your beast off!'

    Thumble doesn't find anyone else except the casualty that Beigette and Cass are tending to - examining him, Thumble comes to the conclusion that he's probably not going to make it.

    Jumping a little even though she saw the other woman approach, Tali steps back, holding her hand out with the pendant in her palm.
    "H-h-he's g-going t-t-to d-d-die. I-i-i d-don't k-k-know h-how t-t-to f-fix h-him." she says, new tears forming in her eyes, this time from the shame of admitting she can't help.

    Lena looks from the woman she just saved, over to where the young elf is spluttering over the man her decision probably just killed, and wondered if she should pray for a do-over. Instead she says "Stop wit' the panic. There's someone over there goin' t' the crows because we used the last potion on ye. Ye want t' stop makin' me think of yer as the worst mistake of my life, please get up and help. Even if it's just helpin' me cut bandages.

    "Maybe ye could see if the cart's still in a useful condition. We should ha' some horses arriving soon; but no' enough for all and no' everyone's goin' t' be able to walk or ride anyway."


    Not giving the woman a second look, she continues trying to aid the others with there relief efforts, even if all she can do is clean things.

    After fending off Slobber, the raven haired woman comes over and takes a look at the wiry man... she says something, but it's too quiet to hear.

    'Alright - I can see you mean me no immediate harm - even if you are working against my house'.

    The woman kneels and feels for his pulse.

    'You're right. I suspect there was nothing you could do'. her voice is tightly controlled, and she chews her lip. She leans over, and gently closes the man's eyes.

    'I'll check out the cart'.

    The stabilised greycloak laughs nastily.

    The air feels oppressive and humid.

    She's wearing a shortsword, armour, a simple helmet, and a black and white tabard depicting a stylised tree - clearly some kind of military uniform.

    Beigette sighs, sitting back as the man's life leaves him. Well, that was one she couldn't save. She looks up to the elf woman, expression tired, indicating her hand with a nod of her head.

    "Hey, Lissie...what he give ya?" She asks, voice as tired as her expression. She's had enough of all the death. More than enough, actually. As the furry man laughs, Beigette frowns, then stands up and walks over to him.

    "What's so funny?" She asks.

    'I thought that I was a coward, fearing death - but that elf can't even bear the sight of blood'. he gestures at Tali.

    He turns, wincing as his movement tugs on his dressings.

    'But for a bunch of...argh... passerby healers we'd have finished every last one'.

    His eyes look hungry.

    Lena turns to the greycloak and smiles broadly. Her Morningstar in her hand. "Think ye should remember, ye bittern; yer only alive because ye c'n tell us o' who's behind this. And maybe help pull the cart as well, since yer strong enough t' laugh". She twirls the morningstar and looks contemplative. "An' now I think; ye don't need intact hands t' do either o' those things. I think maybe ye should start speakin' a little more helpful-like. Sunshine?". She doesn't stop smiling.

    Beigette snorts. "Passerby healers? Please. I killed two of your furry buds myself. Wasn't all that hard," she sees the hunger in his eyes and her own grow cold, as she bends over him, hands going to check one of his bandages. Her gaze is focused on his eyes, expression dark. "Killing a third would be no trouble, though I might make it a bit slower this time,"

    Her threat brought across, once again supported by the 'Terial commander's own interjection, Beigette stands and makes her way over to the vamply elf, looking at her with concern.

    "Say, Lissie, you doin' a'ight? Is it just the leikfeld, or is summin' else bothering you?"

    The young greycloak's eyes are cold as he replies to Beigette.

    'Then you'll never get any information out of me'.

    However, when Lena intervenes, the greycloak holds her gaze at first. Then he seems to read something in Lena's stare, and he wavers, looking away slightly.

    Angry with himself, he growls

    'Why don't you ask them? Why don't you ask them what they were doing in the north?'.

    He chuckles.

    'There were a coupla hundred o' them to start with. Easy. Maybe more. It's been a long chase'.

    He seems to find something funny about the idea.

    'A long...long chase. Fighting nearly every other day. Landslides, exposure and rattlebones got as many o' the men as the chase. But we were winning. And today we would have finished them - but for those green jobs they had waitin' - and but for you'.

    He laughs again, and there's something a little off about the sound.

    'Don't you think that's hilarious?'

    'As for why the chase? Haha...well we value our privacy'.

    'And don't think we have nothing to do with Flamia - the proof's lying on the field around you!'
    he sniggers.

    Ursuul watches the dwarf admirably for a moment, then a small amount of concern grows on his face. He hasn't seen anyone drink that much of his ale since...himself. It was no wonder what happened to him when he downed like that, but at least for the dwarf he was a good bit closer to the earth for his trip.

    Tali's face screws up into an angry scowl (well, at least for her) as the fur-cloaked man makes the remark about her being scared of blood.
    It's blatantly untrue. Blood doesn't bother her. It's the way in which it has been spilled.
    "I-i-it's n-not t-the b-b-blood!" she yells at the man, "I-i-i h-hate f-f-fighting!"

    The glade seems quiet, and still. Ravens and jay hop about. You can hear the sound of the agitated songbirds...

    A sight catches your attention - on a distant branch a jackdaw - ignoring the feast of flesh before it is attacking the nest of a speckled mountain thrush.

    The smaller bird is making a racket, shielding its chicks with its wings, and pecking savagely with its beak.

    The black marauding jackdaw caws, and flaps about the nest looking for an opening...

    Near the nest, in the dense foliage something moves. A branch shifts. Hidden in the dense shadows, Thumble notices a man - bow drawn, and arrow notched - ready to fire.

    Not sure if he looks like the figure from before, but ...

    Thumble was saddened by the actions of the birds, who seemingly had been infected by the madness of this clearing. Shaking his head, he froze as something caught his attention.

    Most people attempting to hide themselves in the woods took the simple route - staying behind a tree, a rock, a bush - and hoped that no one noticed them peeking out and around their cover. Those who were trained in the art of stealth (or were naturally adept at it), knew that success came whne you matched your outline to the world around you. By conforming to the world around you, you became a part of the world, effectively disappearing into plain sight. Of course, blending in only worked so well, and the more foreign objects you brought with you, the harder it was to hide.

    In the end, it was a minor thing that caught Thumble's attention ... a shadow where there should not have been one ... a branch creaking in the still air ... an angular, smooth branch that was really a bow ...

    Thumble blinked and gestured quickly at Slobber, moving to hide behind a tree. The dog, no longer panting and wagging his tail, darted behind another tree to his right. As he moved, Thumble hissed out to the group, "ARCHER!", only stopping to point once he was behind cover.

    Before Bosh can answer Ursuul a tall soldier, dressed in the same black and white tabard, and holding a halberd comes jogging up to Corporal Sturbish.

    He's a tall and red headed youth. Ursuul recognises him as Burke.

    'Excuse me Corporal...'. he leans down to whisper in her ear...

    'Like Hell he is!' the Corporal replies.

    She looks at Bosh appraisingly.

    'Alright, I'm out of time - name and business please sir, or I'm gonna have tae put you under arrest'.
